Ashwin Vijay Shines Bright With Legend Poker Series Main Event Victory; Kartik Ved, Aditya Singh & Aditya Agarwal Also Deliver Standout Performances

Sunday, October 1, ushered in the new Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India, imposing a 28% GST on all player deposits made on gaming platforms. While this move posed a potential threat to the online gaming industry, the proactive efforts by the leading online gaming brands to support the online poker ecosystem are commendable.

Leading the charge, PokerBaazi took a significant step by choosing to absorb the impact of the new GST regulation. They decided not to credit back 22% of player deposits as Real Cash Bonus (RCB), making the remaining balance available as withdrawable cash in players’ wallets. Other giants like PokerStars India, MPL Poker, and Junglee Poker are bearing the entire tax burden, while Adda52 and Pocket52 have devised unique ways to offer instant bonuses and discount credits, respectively, to counterbalance the tax strain on players.

Despite the shakeups in GST rules, the Sunday poker action was nothing short of thrilling, featuring a variety of Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs). Even as Spartan Poker’s monumental ₹25 Crores GTD Legend Poker Series concluded on a high note, PokerBaazi unveiled a revamped lineup of Sunday tournaments. They doubled the guarantees of some of their regular BSS flagship events, without increasing the buy-ins. Concurrently, PokerBaazi’s ₹10 Crores GTD G.O.A.T hosted its fourth Qualifier.

Junglee Poker’s ₹75 Lakhs GTD Rumble Series was the other poker festival that went down the history books. A23 Poker hosted another ₹20 Lakhs Mega Freeroll. Adding to the excitement of the Sunday poker extravaganza, MPL Poker’s ₹2.50 Crores GTD Poker Master Series hosted six exciting tournaments.

Amid these intense showdowns, Ashwin Vijay stole the Sunday thunder, emerging as the victor in Spartan Poker’s Legend #117 Main Event. Vijay, who came to Day 2 via the Day 1H flight, navigated a staggering 2,765-strong player field to clinch victory, securing in the process a personal-best online score of ₹30.27 Lakhs and standing out as the day’s top scorer. Remarkably, this marked his sixth victory in the series – a record unmatched by any other player – elevating him to #9 on the Legend Signature leaderboard.

The LPS Main Event culminated with Vijay sealing a four-way deal with WSOP bracelet winner Kartik Ved (2nd for ₹25.20 Lakhs), ‘Ew David’ (3rd for ₹22.43 Lakhs), and Mohitkumar Bohra (4th for ₹20.42 Lakhs) – all of whom featured prominently at the top of the Sunday scorecard!

Aditya Singh, an indomitable force in the online poker realm, also made waves on this eventful Sunday, netting a jaw-dropping ₹14.20 Lakhs from a series of impressive finishes. He emerged as the champion in Spartan Poker’s Legend #115 Sunday Magnate, claiming ₹9.33 Lakhs and striking a heads-up deal with Kashish Gupta, who secured the second-place prize of ₹8.41 Lakhs. Five minutes later, Singh continued his winning streak in Spartan Poker’s Legend #116 Deepstack Turbo, banking the top prize of ₹4.87 Lakhs.

Online crusher Pradip Ghosh had an outstanding Sunday, amassing a striking ₹9.07 Lakhs in winnings. Ghosh’s impressive victories included triumphing in Spartan Poker’s Legend #114 Sunday Showdown for ₹7.37 Lakhs, following a heads-up deal with poker veteran Aditya Agarwal, who secured a payout of ₹7.25 Lakhs. Agarwal’s noteworthy performance in four other tournaments brought his total earnings for the day to a whopping ₹10.80 Lakhs, propelling him to #9 in the Player of the Year rankings.

The other Legend Poker Series champions crowned on the concluding day of the series included ‘Watatheif’ (Won Legend #113 for ₹3.74 Lakhs), Myron Pereira (Won Legend #111 for ₹2.74 Lakhs), Yash Chitre (Won Legend #110 PKO for ₹63,448) and ‘BazigarBaBa’ (Won ₹ Legend #112 PLO4 for ₹56,283).

Headlining PokerBaazi’s Sunday roster of BSS-branded tournaments, the mystery user ‘nixxyralte‘ won the (1000X) BSS SuperStack for ₹6.79 Lakhs. Satyam Verma secured the runner-up spot for ₹4.13 Lakhs, adding ₹5.03 Lakhs overall.

Making his indelible mark, Faiz Alam conquered the (7-Max) BSS Championship for ₹6.33 Lakhs, with Kumar Vatsal coming in second to collect ₹3.79 Lakhs.

‘Darkqueen92’(Won BSS Super Value for ₹5.36 Lakhs), Sanish Chhabra (Won BSS Big Bounty for ₹5.23 Lakhs), Manish Lakhotia (Won (6-Max) BSS HighRoller for ₹4.28 Lakhs), ‘JCchon413’ (Won (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹1.97 Lakhs), Kunal Agrawal (Won BSS Kickoff for ₹90,715), Pritam Amritkar (Won BSS for ₹66,070), and Jayant Alagawadi (Won BSS 1000X for ₹34,660) shipped the other BSS-branded Sunday tournaments.

Young Gun Sahil Chutani hit the bullseye in Adda52’s Mega Suits, claiming the 7.30 PM Sunday flagship event for the third time and securing the grand prize of ₹6.12 Lakhs (won at least ₹6.34 Lakhs overall).

In Adda52 Millions, Wilson Yomso celebrated a triumphant victory after a ten-month dry spell, adding ₹5.43 Lakhs to his substantial Sunday scorecard of ₹6.25 Lakhs. Yomso’s victory in the Adda52 Millions was sealed through a heads-up deal with Bharat Vasan, who walked away with nearly an equivalent ₹5.43 Lakhs (won ₹6.52 Lakhs overall).

‘gcrahulota339‘ (Won Adda52’s Sunday Showdown for ₹1.96 Lakhs) was the other standout winner on Adda52.

On PokerStars India, Ravi Kumar Chandran claimed the bragging rights in the Sunday Special [8-Max, PKO], clinching his first-ever online title and a notable top prize of ₹3.13 Lakhs. The musician-turned-poker-pro Dhaval Mudgal finished runner-up to earn ₹1.74 Lakhs, adding to an impressive ₹4.66 Lakhs in total winnings.

October 1 marked a pivotal shift in India`s real-money gaming industry, introducing a new tax regime of 28% GST on all player deposits made on gaming sites. Yet, unfazed by this industry shake-up, PokerBaazi took a resolute stand. True to its philosophy that “the show must go on,” PokerBaazi chose to absorb the full brunt of the new GST regulation. Players were pleasantly surprised that 22% of their deposits will not be credited back as a Real Cash Bonus, with the remainder available as withdrawable cash in their wallets.

Reaffirming its dominant position in the industry, PokerBaazi also rolled out a revamped Sunday roster of tournaments, with several new additions and doubling down on the guarantees of its regular BSS flagships. Remarkably, this enhancement in tournament guarantees comes without any increase in the buy-ins, underlining PokerBaazi’s unwavering dedication to offering unmatched value to its patrons.

Making waves in this dynamic environment, PokerBaazi user ‘nixxyralte,’ known to be primarily active at the low-to-mid stakes, grabbed headlines. Following a commendable runner-up finish in Thursday’s Daily 1000X, ‘nixxyralte’ delivered a dominating performance in the ₹50 Lakhs GTD (1000X) BSS SuperStack. Overcoming a massive pool of 1,102 players (578 unique) in the 7:30 PM flagship event, ‘nixxyralte’ clinched the top spot and pocketed a sizable ₹6.79 Lakhs, a staggering 12 times their prior highest score on PokerBaazi. This significant win marked their inaugural victory in a big-ticket event on the platform and garnered their first six-figure cash prize.

From the 1st of October, a new GST regime in India started levying a whopping 28% tax on initial deposits made on online gaming platforms. In light of this change, PokerBaazi took a proactive step for its dedicated player base. The platform announced it would alleviate the increased tax burden by crediting players with a real cash bonus (RCB) of 22% on all player deposits, effectively compensating for the tax implications.

Moreover, PokerBaazi amped up its tournament offerings by launching a revamped Sunday schedule, unveiling an all-new ₹50 Lakhs GTD BSS Super Value event. This 5 PM flagship event promised a staggering 2000X value. The tournament didn’t disappoint, pulling in an impressive crowd of 1,927 poker enthusiasts with 916 unique entries.

Among these, ‘Darkqueen92,’ a player active on PokerBaazi since July 2019, emerged as the evening’s star. A predominantly small-stakes tournament player looking to break into the bigger legions, ‘Darkqueen92’ found the perfect opportunity in the BSS Super Value. Earning an entry at a fraction of the cost through a ₹275 satellite, the player’s two bullets in the satellite turned golden returns. After a gruelling ten-hour contest, ‘Darkqueen92’ secured the title and personal-best prize money of ₹5.36 Lakhs.

The final table was not without its drama. ‘Darkqueen92’ faced a stiff challenge from Dhinesh ‘dhineshrocky007’ Kumar, who, just a week prior, had secured a second-place finish in the Legend #69 Sunday Magnate. However, Kumar had to settle for the runner-up spot again, albeit with a handsome ₹3.35 Lakhs reward.
